Ready for a couple of big jugs?

"Allo Allo!" Has been around since 1982 and has just recently become available in the USA on decent media. This is series three, as the series progresses, they take more chances and opportunities to parody just about everyone. There are six episodes that are over before you know it. The episodes are too large for one DVD, so they filled the second one with the standard extras. Unfortunately, the extras add nothing to the series. I am afraid that we will have to wait some time for the next series. ------------ The basic story is about a café owner, René, who is in France during the WWII occupation. He must balance dealing with the local Germans, the Gestapo, the good Resistance, the commie Resistance, having affairs with his female help, and dealing with his wife and mother-in-law. Throw in some downed British airmen and some onion soup. I will not cover this series in detail because for those who have not seen it or if it has been a while since viewing the series, the surprise factor and the one-liners are worth discovering firsthand. The series two includes the introduction of an English officer who thinks he can speak French and comes out with statements like "she has great Fortitude" This is the series where they also nick Helga's knickers with the little swastikas. One nice thing about this series is that they place the name next to the actor at the end of each episode. Most of the actors are well-known outside of this series. I was shocked, however, to find that Gestapo Herr Otto Flick (Richard Gibson) played British Capt. Newman in Ken Follett's "The Key to Rebecca" (1985) completely changed his accent. I was surprised to see Lt. Hubert Gruber (Guy Siner) in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003).
